[Guest guest]

Patient states that he tore his s/l **stertarius** and also has had three

knee surgeries.

Anyone have a clue? Thanks.

Val - this is the sartorius muscle, and here is what I got from the University

of Washington Radiology website. - The sartorius runs from the anterior

superior iliac spine down to the tibial tuberosity. Sartor is Latin for tailor,

and the sartorius is sometimes referred to as the tailors muscle. This may be

because the sartorius acts to flex the hip and knee and laterally rotate the

hip, just the thing for sitting cross-legged and sewing a garment.
